    This is a good Magic Kingdom food option. I recommend doing mobile ordering and pick your food up, instead of waiting in a long line. They give you a pickup time after placing your order. The food prices were reasonable, and the food was good.

    Grabbed a quick bite early during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Ordered the patty melt, which comes with plant based cheddar cheese, grilled onions and asteroid sauce on Texas toast. The burger was good, but the toast gets chewy after sitting for a little bit. The fries were cold, so they remade them and the replacement order was hot. It did not take too long to get the food and there was seating. The dance party in the lower level wasn't so loud and didn't overpower the other music.

    On our visit to Magic Kingdom Orlando we wanted a sit down restaurant but needed a reservation which we normally always do. So we decided to do a walk up with a dinning area and choose Cosmic Rays which the cheeseburger was pretty good and chicken nuggets were really good. The Lunar lemonade and Sully slush were excellent!

    Their chicken strips with ranch smells so good, a lady walked by while we were still in line and I can smell the tasty ranch flavor! Lines are very long and indoor seating is extremely limited. Service is pretty slow so wait time is about 15 minutes at least. Ambiance is like a food court.

    Stopped here for a quick snack and had a great experience! The food was delicious, fresh, and came out quickly. It was the perfect spot for a convenient and tasty bite.

    I feel like it's usually so hard to find indoor seating, but it was so easy here! You can also refill your water bottle and use the bathroom while you're here, making this a great pit stop, especially in the heat of a Florida summer. The food is pretty good too! While still on the pricier side, it was better than what I expected. We got the black garlic, truffle, and parmesan fries and they were delicious! They really don't skimp on the sauce or cheese. And the fries were pretty crispy. And if you just get plain fries, they provide so many sauces here: ketchup, barbecue, honey mustard, mayo, ranch.

    Able to order on the phone. Delicious truffle burger. Lots of flavor. Lots of seating inside but decided to eat outside to watch the parade.

    I came here one day with my sister and her family when they were in town visiting. It was a long day at MK, and we wanted some food, so we came here, to Cosmic Ray's. It's one of the busiest counter service restaurants in all of WDW, but in the chaos, it is actually very efficient. No real ambiance to speak of. I think there used to be a singing alien in the corner or something, but now it's just a building with seats. Which is fine. It does its job. Service was pretty ok, too. Friendly faces at the registers, friendly folks handing you your order, taking requests on asking for extra veggies trays. No issues with service at all. As for the good, I was surprised with how good it was. Of course it was overpriced, but it wasn't as overpriced as other spots on Disney property. I think way too many families of 4+ slide in and out of this place for the prices to be too high. I ordered the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich (Crispy Chicken Breast, Pickle Slaw, and Spicy Aïoli on a Brioche Bun served with French Fries). Nice, soft bun. Large, crispy chicken patty. Shoestring fries with unlimited amounts of ketchup. I was pretty pleased. I also got to sample the Triple-B Burger (Angus Beef Patty with Bacon, Cheddar Spread, Crispy Onions, and Coca-Cola® Cherry-Barbecue Sauce on a Brioche Bun served with French Fries), one of their signature items, with an upgrade side of Black Garlic, Truffle, and Parmesan Fries (French Fries topped with Black Garlic-Truffle Aïoli and Parmesan). Wow! This burger was out of this world. A good, charred burger patty with bacon that was actually crisp and played a role in this burger. Gooey cheese, more crisp from the onions, and that sweet BBQ sauce that counteracts the heaviness from the rest of the burger. Delicious. Definitely recommend this. Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised with this place. Gonna make this one of my go-to places for when I come to MK.

    Pros: Really conveniently located within Magic Kingdom. Not too far out of the way. Service was nice enough. It's only counter service, but everyone was friendly and smiling. Food was surprisingly good! We had a good chicken sandwich and an even better bacon cheeseburger. Cons: No real cons. The price was even right, for Disney property. Tips: Both sandwiches we tried were worth it value-wise. So maybe their other menu items will satisfy you, too.

    Pick up counter "Bay 2" at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café in the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney Resort.

    I'm ready to be beamed up and spend some extra time at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café. Located in the Tomorrowland section of the Magic Kingdom Theme Park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café is a counter service restaurant that is both fast-casual counter ordering and modern ordering via the Disney World app. What brought our large group here for dinner was a recent visit to the "Happiest Place on Earth" and as we usually did our tour of this vast park in a clockwise setting, we would eventually land on Tomorrowland. After thinking about our options, we decided that dining at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café was the best option for our group. Of course, visiting around the holiday season, the entire park was packed with visitors and Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café was no exception. Cosmic Ray's has a menu consisting mostly of stereotypical American theme park food, and is organized into three bays with one of them specifically designated to pick up your order when made through the Disney World app. The menu at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café consists mostly of stereotypical American theme park food, and is separated into categories including Entrées, Plant Based, Sides, Kid's Meals, Desserts, Speciality Beverages, Beverages, and their various allergy-free menu entrées. Since their menu was rather straight-forward and simple I ordered their Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich, which featured a deep-fried crispy Chicken Breast topped with Pickle Slaw and Spicy Aïoli served on a Brioche Bun served with French Fries. To drink, since their beverages at this location were all fountain drinks, I ordered their Lunar Lemonade, which was a combination of Minute Maid Lemonade with Desert Pear Syrup served over ice. It was actually quite busy at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café the evening we visited, so the food took longer than we expected. Once the food was ready for pickup, we received a text via the app indicating which "bay" to go to, a system I have to give Disney credit for. It's well-organized and streamlines the entire process of ordering, payment, and distribution. Another big plus at Cosmic Ray's is the toppings bar, which lets you customize your burger and make it substantially larger than the average burger at Walt Disney World. By adding extra lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions, you can enhance what's already a solid meal, which is definitely a highlight for any value-conscious diner. In itself, my chicken sandwich at Cosmic Ray's is nothing special. It's not awful, it's just nothing to write home about. My total bill came out to just over $20--which, in Disney dollars, is quite reasonable. After a full day in the park, getting a filling meal at an affordable price point was a refreshing change of pace. That said, it's worth noting that my drink was nearly half the cost of my chicken sandwich, and unfortunately, the overly sweet flavor didn't justify the price. I do wish Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café leaned more into themed dining and that the culinary team that they employ put a little bit more effort into the meal, something as simple as toasting the bun would've made a real difference. What makes Cosmic Ray's stand out, though, is its most delightfully odd and uniquely present-day Walt Disney World character, who goes by the random name of "Sonny Eclipse". This Audio-Animatronic alien performs a 20-minute musical set on the Astro Organ, complete with corny jokes and backup vocals from his Space Angels, entertaining guests in the main dining area. Why has Disney let this "attraction" stay when it no doubt costs a pretty penny to maintain is anyone's guess. A place that is affordable, fast, and with plenty of seating, Cosmic Ray's is surprisingly a great place to enjoy a quick meal, and ideally before your next ride leaves you a little queasy (and hopefully, it's not Space Mountain!).

    This is a very average meal at the Magic Kingdom. Like most of this park the food is simply okay with nothing of serious note. Chicken Sandwich was super spicy but solid. Burger was very average. The thing that drives this place is the ambience. Different than other cafeteria style places it at least leans into its place in Tomorrowland with a futuristic feel. Would be a place to check out within the park.

    For lunch while at Disney World we ate at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. They serve sandwiches, burgers, fries, chicken tenders and no refill drinks unless you pay extra for it. It was very crowded, and you can order online. I don't recommend ordering online, it's faster to wait in line and order from a live person.(speaking from experience from my niece online ordering) it was hard to find a table, but we lucked up and everyone found a table, just not near each other. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries, and they weren't bad. Mahogany a young lady giving out Bday pins and first Disney visit pins was so nice. She gave me a bday pin, and it was nice getting bday wishes EVERY time someone saw my pin. Cosmic Ray's is not cheap, but not as expensive as other places to eat at WDW. If you looking for a budget friendly place to eat check out Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe.

The Vibe: From the outside, the shop is pretty unassuming, tucked into a strip mall--but that's often where the best deli spots are hiding. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a busy lunch rush and a fast-paced New York deli vibe, with staff cranking out sandwiches left and right. Always a good sign. What We Ordered: * Hot Rachel * Classic Italian * 1/2 lb pesto macaroni salad * 1/2 lb redskin potato salad We took everything home for lunch and... Every single thing was delicious. Sandwich Highlights: The Hot Rachel was exactly what you want from a deli sandwich--tender pastrami, melty Swiss, tangy slaw, and toasted rye all working together perfectly. Stacked high and full of flavor. My husband's Classic Italian was also fantastic, loaded with meats and that classic deli balance of flavors. Both deli salads were great, but the pesto macaroni salad was the standout--creamy, herby, and packed with flavor. We're honestly so excited to have discovered a great New York-style deli less than 10 minutes from our house. Safe to say we'll definitely be back soon to work our way through the rest of the menu. Pro tip: Don't skip the deli salads--grab one or two to share with your sandwich.

Unfortunately, this was not the case. Breakfast sandwiches (mostly on limited bagel choices) and pastries were all they served. They were above average tasting, so taste was not that big of a factor. Totally bummed out at the lackluster choices for breakfast, we ordered what we needed to satisfy our hunger and had high hopes for the other meals of the days during the rest of our stay. To our dismay, the choices during lunch and dinner were also really disappointing. (Avoid the grilled cheese. Completely disappointing!) We ended up only utilizing the deli to fill our refillable drink cups during the trip. For what it's worth, the Boardwalk Deli did have the mobile order or standby options available. There are no inside options to sit down and eat your food, so rain or heat, you can only sit in the outside tables and chairs along the Boardwalk if you don't want to take the food back to your room to eat. Everything about our stay at the Boardwalk Villas was amazing except the Quick Service options. With a baby in tow now, our days are a little bit different and we find ourselves not spending every second at the parks. Having a solid quick service option on property is important. This was the only con of the property for us.
